- PEBPETUA-L Be it known that I, FRANK A. HALE, a citizen of. the United States, and resident o f Chicago, county of Cook, and State of 1111 nois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Perpetual Memorandum-A Calendars, of which the followin is a specilisation, and which are illustrat in the .aoco'mpanying Y drawings, forming a part thereof. e v

The invention relates to calendars of that exhibiting the calendar information and for receiving -memoranda. In such calendars the pad has a number of leaves equal to the number of days in the year and each leaf is printedfwith calendar information relating to afparticular date andy has spacefor receiving memoranda associated with such date. As heretofore made the leaves of such calendars have been printed with the days of the month and week as also with the numerical designation of a particular year, whereby the use of thel calendar is limited to that year for which it vis specially intended. It has been found in practice that the sale of calendars of this sort to retail dealers is very much limited, particularly during the later months of the year, ,for the reason that the calendars become useless and .therefore unsa'lable after the year for which they are intended, has expired. Y

The object of the present' invention is to provide a memorandum calendar pad of the class described which, while resenting calendar information u on all of) its leaves, has that information w ich is peculiar to any year rinted u n only a few ofthe leaves whe y the call)o ful for a diEerent year b 'the substitution of only a small number o the leaves.

' The invention, therefore, contemplates a.Y 1 memorandum pad calendar comprlsl sets of leaves, the leaves of one set 'g equal in number-tothe number of da s in the year and constitut the main y of the pad, and the leaves o the other set being equal to'the number of months in the year and being'located at intervals between the leaves of the first mentioned set.

For such use they are convenientl pon a standard or holder 'suc as thatillustrated at 10 in 1 of the drawings. The holder 10 is shown as being of a form adapted to simultaneously display the opposite sides of adjacent leaves of a calendar pad, as by provi "two alluli'ss-Y igiiated 11 and 12 against w the vleaves of the und y be turned. Preferably, the holder 10 also includes a pair ofY or'ardles'designated 13 and 14 nponwhich the leaves of the calendar are threaded or 80 filed in consecutive lmllgementf In carrying out the invention a lpad of leaves gmernlly designated 15,' iaprovided.v This pad preferably comprises top andbottom or cover sheets 16, 17, a 'body of leaves 18 equal in number Yto the number of days lurality of' intermediate sheets 17'9 in at intervals the cover 16 and between the body of leaves 18, The top and bottom or cover sheets 16, 17 may be printed in any convenient way but 'one Yor both sides of each will preferably. be printed'with a calendar for a full ear. As the printing of these sheets will ollow the practice heretofore used the faces of these sheets are not illustrated in the dra.

The leaves 18 constituting the 0f therpadwilleach beprinted upono side, as 20, with calendar information relating only to a single day of the year, but this calendar information will belimited to that which is `applicable to the corresponding day of any year.

-of a day of the month, asfindicatedat 2li and 22 respectively, Fig; The lremainder of the side .of .each df-the. leaves V'18 is preferably: left 4 blank V"for receiving memo:

randa, as indicated at 23.' The reverse side, as `24, ofv eafzhj-of the leaves 18 is most desirably'printed with informationrelatinor to a day o 'the year 4nextsucceeding thatprinted'npon the face20 of the sameleaf 18, as with the name '-of the same month and the numerical 'designation of' the Vnext succeeding day offhemonth, `as sh'own at 25, 26 Fig. 1. When the pad 15 is'opened for use,

as upon thetwo seatsll, 12 of the holder l10,l the name of a-,month and the numerical designation of agiven day of the month is exposed uponboth of the leaves 18 which vare thus brou ht into view.v AObviously the leaves printe inthis way may be used as calendar and memorandum leaves during any year.

To provide a complete ycalendar forv any year the intermediate leaves 19 are printed .upon their opposite faces, as shown in Figs.

' 3 and 4. That is to say,-eachl of these leaves is printed upon one side witha calendar 27 for a full month, and with calendars 28, 29 for the preceding and succeeding monthsrespectively. The reverse side of each of the leaves 19 is preferably also-printed with a calendar for a full monthwthe several dates being arranged in a coliiinn or table 30, with memorandum space 31 associated with each date by ruling lines 32 acrossthe-sheet between each item of the said column. One of theleaves 19 is placed immediatel beneath the cover sheet 16. ,The remain er of the sheets 19 .are arranged consecutively between the 'leaves 18 constituting the main body Yof the pad 15 in such a way that the body of the pad will be divided by one of the sheets 19 at each place wherel the beginning of a month is indicated. .Preferably all of the calendar leaves including the cover sheet 16, 17, those constituting the main body of the pad and the intermediate sheets 19, willbe provided ,with apertures 33 and 34 for receiving the filing w1res,.as 13, 14 of the holder 10.

The calendar as so far described, while'being complete for any year, may readily be made useful for a different year by merely substituting for the sheets 19z similar'sheets which are correspondingly printed for a different year. In evenh that the cover sheets 16, 17 are also printed with calendar information, these will also require to be renewed, but the leaves 18. which constitute the main body of the pad are equally useful for any year. To render the leaves 19 more readily accessible for reference to them when the calendar is Iin use or for'eiecting their removal when new sheets are to be substituted for them, these sheets are preferably made somewhat longer than the leaves 18 constituting the main body of the pad, as shown at 35, Fig. 2. To facilitate the opening of the pad 1 5 at any place desired, the

art 35 of each of the leaves 19 which pro- ]ects beyond the main body of the pad is printed upon both sides with the name of the month to which such sheet pertains, as shown at 36 and 37 in Figs. 1, 3 and 4.

The invention enables a vretail dealer to maintain a lar even during t e later months of the year, for should he fail to dispose -of his entire stock during any year, he'can render those which he has on hand at. the beginning of a. new year, serviceable for-sale and use during such new year, by simply providing new intermediate sheets 19 and new cover sheets 'les'V stock of calendars-on hand, Y

16, 17 in event the -qover sheets have also Y beenprinted with calendar' information.

That side of each of the leaves 19 illustrated inl Fig. 4 of the rovides a condensed memorandum Space or a full 1 month and may be conveniently usedfor maintaining a' summary of engagements or appointments for such months while more detailed vinformation regarding the several items of such summary may be written upon the memorandum space 20 of the correspending leaves18 of the pad. When reference is desired to be made to the memoranda which have been made forany date,

the spaces 31 on the leaves 19 may lthus beused as an index for indicating the Vleaves of the pad to be examined for such memoranda.

A calendar pad comprising two sets-of leaves, the leaves of one set being equal in number to the number of days .in the year'V and each of such leaves being printed with calendar information comprising Vonl Ythe name of a month and the numerical ignation of a day of the month and the leaves of the other set being eqillal in number tothe number'of months in t e yearand each of such. last mentioned leaves being rinted with a complete calendar for a different month of the'year.
